Fairies gathered around a flower-shaped phonograph make this card an unusual pairing of two novelties from the turn of the twentieth century. Verse postcards like this one were popular in the years around 1900, when printed rhymes and whimsical illustrations often carried sentimental or humorous messages between friends and relatives. Here the phonograph, then a fresh and exciting piece of home technology, is imagined as something a fairy might enjoy, with the flower forming its horn. Such images show how quickly new machines moved from the factory into the imagination of illustrators and the people who bought and mailed their cards.
